Troubleshooting
Cage frame feels unstable
Ensure all steel connectors are tightened securely. If in a windy location, use the provided steel pegs to firmly anchor the frame into the ground. Consider purchasing heavy-duty pipe clips for extra stability.
Netting is difficult to attach
Ensure the netting is oriented correctly and pull it taut before securing with the net clamps. Adjust the position of the clamps along the tubing for a snug fit.
Aluminium tubing is bent
Minor bends can sometimes be straightened carefully by hand or with gentle pressure. For significant damage, contact customer support for potential replacement parts.
Missing components
Check the packaging thoroughly. If components are genuinely missing, contact Gardening Naturally customer support with your order details and a list of the missing items.
